Features & Capabilities

Using a question-and-answer format, Helicopter Pilot Checkride lists the questions most likely to be asked by examiners during the last step in the private pilot helicopter certification process – the Practical Exam – and provides succinct, ready responses. Applicants will find this App an indispensable tool in both planning for what to expect during the helicopter checkride, and mastering the subject matter. Instructors rate them as excellent preparation for students, as well as general refresher material.

This Helicopter Pilot Checkride app is based on the popular Helicopter Pilot Oral Exam Guide book by Ryan Dale. It is designed for applicants training for a Private Pilot certificate with a helicopter rating. More than 1700 questions and responses ensure the subjects a helicopter pilot candidate will be tested on during checkrides and review flights are covered. Questions align with the knowledge topics, risk management, and skill tasks including scenario-based training elements in the Private Pilot for Helicopter Airman Certification Standards (FAA-S-ACS-15) and include these topics: preflight preparation, preflight procedures, airport and helicopter operations, hovering manuevers, takeoffs, landings and go-around, performance maneuvers, navigation, emergency operations, night operations, and postflight procedures. Answers and explanations were researched using FAA documents (which are identified so pilots know where to go for further study) as well as interviewing FAA examiners. Questions are supported with the ACS code and FAA references, and can be marked for further study from any subject to build your own collection of flashcards.

Compatible with iOS phones and tablets, this app teaches applicants not only what to expect, but also how to exhibit subject mastery and confidence when under the examiner’s scrutiny. It identifies candidates’ strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in their aeronautical knowledge, which increases study efficiency.

App features:

• More than 1700 questions are included with succinct, ready responses. • Questions from any subject can be flagged for further study into a separate group. • Includes all the questions and answers from the popular book, Helicopter Pilot Oral Exam Guide Third Edition, by Ryan Dale. • Brought to you by a trusted resource in aviation training and publishing, Aviation Supplies & Academics (ASA).

Absolutely do not buy this. I wouldn't use it, even if it were free. If your in a flight program and they give you money to get this (like mine did), Do Not Buy it. There are much better resources out there. This is also the opinion of everyone that I'm in flight school with (which is about 25 of us) and have asked them about their thoughts of this app. I rarely write reviews but I had to warn others on this one.

There are 14 Instrument Rating questions, none of which are especially pertinent to a true oral or practical exam in New England (according to my flight instructor and DPE). The CFI section has 173 oral questions and answers. The first one says How is each blade attached to the fully articulated rotor hub? (FAA-H-8083-21) Hide Answer Answer Each rotor blade is attached to the rotor hub by a horizontal hinge, called the flapping hinge, which permits the blades to flap up and down. Each blade can move up and down independently of the others. The flapping hinge may be located at varying distances from the rotor hub, and there may be more than one. Seems they missed the lead/lag hinge and the feather axis- or so my DPE told me. I'd rather have my ten dollars back and spend time reviewing source material. This review is intended for helicopter pilots wishing to finish their instrument rating and become a CFII
